Globally, 63% of banks & FIs picked instant payments as their top priority over the next 12 months, followed by fraud detection (54%), cross-border payments (52%), and digital transformation (45%).

The following areas are vital for Switzerland as it straddles the line between its independent status and its ability to take inspiration from other global initiatives.

• The importance of interoperability to ensure the Swiss marketplace can have ubiquity with the global economy, especially their close neighbours in Europe.
• The drive to modernise domestic payments (Instant Payments, RTGS) by ensuring a state-of-the-art and innovative marketplace.
• Although Switzerland is in front of the curve when it comes to ISO 20022 (since 2015), further steps are needed to move towards ISO Native to comply with SWIFT’s CBPR+ standard for cross-border payments to ensure true interoperability.
• Keeping abreast of the security within transactions such as fraud protection, sanctions screening, IBAN pre-validation etc.
